Ok leaving for disney on saterday! I dont want to screw up like last time, so to avoid the city, coming from the north, i should take 95 to 528 and then across to disney? Right? We are staying at Jacksonville north koa ( st marrys) the night before. I do not, do not want to go through the city especially if they still have the constrution still going on. Added 3 hours to the trip last time and wasn't fun towing since the lanes were not big enough.

You are on the right track Syd. stay on 95 to exit 212 that will be Fla 407 I believe and that will bring you to 528. 528 will bring you directly to I 4 at about just north of Disney Springs. Or you can get off 528 AT AND TAKE 417 south and come to I 4, one exit below WORLD DRIVE

Good , ty. And now i just saw a puddle of oil under the new truck ,lol. Had the oil changed, they eaither cross threaded it or damaged the filter somehow. Always something. Leaves will have to eait untill after dinner i guess. Never vut the lawn in the dark. Good thing it will only take 2 hours. Lol.

Ok, i can't win today, truck is fixed. Went to do leaves hit a root bent the blade. Dropped the deck, changed the blades, mower keeps stalling out. Figured it was the carb flote, because it stalls under power, and then i can restart it in a few. Nope, cleaned the carb float , changed the plug and filter and gas, still nothing. May be the selanoid, but at this point if o remove the whole thing I'll just put in a new one. Will get a new carb in the mail. It comes saterday, so packing up to leave, and fixing the lawn mower and doing the leaves. Fun! Lawn has 2 cuts around the outside. Lol.

Did you bump a safety that it shutting it down when you engage the pto? I had a seat switch wire rub apart and do that to me.

You sort your leaves??? Wow, im impressed. I just mow them till they are dust.....

 

[Sjm9911]

Ok good is packed a day early. I hope the new carb comes in tomorrow before dusk. Otherwise the leaves will have to sort themselves for a few weeks!

 

[Sjm9911]

Yes i do. Live ones stay on the trees, dead ones are on the ground. Its a complicated system. Just dont try and rake the live ones.........

 

[Sjm9911]

Ok ,new carb came an hour ago, slapped it in and finished cutting the front yard! Leave for disney in the am! I think anyway, I'm beat!

 

[team bradfield]

Forced to bring new GS on the trip, his mom and dad join us next weekend, darn it

Mt Vernon, Il last night, Manchester KOA tonight, yep only 300 miles a day, (retirement trip)

 

[Sjm9911]

300 miles is plenty. Take it slow and steady, hope he sleeps well for the ride.

 

[team bradfield]

He rides well, CG's pretty empty for Halloween weekend, of course the constant deluge of rain may be dampening everything, I hate rain travel
